The journey of film and television world is endless

It's the end of the year, and the unit is busy with settlements and inventory all day. I'll use this to cover for now. I'll work hard to write tonight!

——————————

The current Li Yunlong is not the same as when he had just crossed the Yellow River. Back then, he was so poor he was practically pissing blood, and his eyes would light up at the sight of anything.

But now, he's starting to look down on the weapons and equipment of the Japanese devils and puppet soldiers. The captured stuff is a bit of a burden, but he can't just throw it away, can he?

Old Li thought for a moment and said to Wang Huaibao, "Third Battalion Commander, pick out what we can use from the spoils. Have the logistics team pack up the rest and send it to Old Brigade Commander later. Also, send someone to keep a close eye on those puppet soldier prisoners. Shoot anyone who dares to escape. After the mission is over, hand them over to the political commissar for screening and handle them according to the old rules."

The Third Battalion Commander happily replied, "Yes! Regiment Commander, I'll arrange it right away." Wang Huaibao ran off to take care of the matters Li Yunlong had arranged.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Li Yunlong looked at those busy figures. These were all soldiers of the Independent Regiment, and a feeling of pride welled up in his heart. The current Independent Regiment can be described as strong and well-equipped. Currently, the entire regiment has more than 2,600 people. In addition to expanding the first, second, and third battalions to nearly 600 people each, a supplementary battalion has also been expanded, with Li Yucai serving as the battalion commander; a cavalry battalion of more than 340 people has also been formed, with Sun Desheng serving as the battalion commander; even Yu Chengzhu's artillery has been expanded into a machine gun battalion. If he were to encounter the Sakata Regiment again (now the Nomura Regiment), he would have the confidence to defeat the opponent head-on, and with minimal losses to himself.

For this re-equipment operation, he pulled out everyone in the regiment except for more than two hundred people left to guard Yang Village.

Deputy Regiment Commander Xing Zhiguo and Zhang Dabiao led the First Battalion on the left flank, Political Commissar Zhao Gang and Shen Quan led the Second Battalion on the right flank, Li Yunlong and Wang Huaibao led the Third Battalion and part of the directly subordinate units in the center, and the machine gun battalion was split up and temporarily assigned to the three directions.

Li Yucai led the supplementary battalion and the remaining troops, following closely behind as a reserve force. Sun Desheng's cavalry battalion was responsible for maneuvering, reconnaissance, communication, and shielding the battlefield. The entire Independent Regiment was fully deployed, covering more than sixty kilometers of the front.

Their mission was to closely monitor the Japanese 9th Independent Mixed Brigade in the Yangquan and Shouyang areas, and gradually clear and expel the Japanese and puppet military strongholds in this area. While confusing the enemy, they would cover the brother troops in the rear.

Speaking of this Independent 9th Mixed Brigade, it's quite tragic. It has only five infantry battalions and several attached other arms of service detachments, with a total force of only 6,000 people. The brigade commander is Major General Ikeue Kenkichi.

However, in October 1941, the Independent Infantry 38th Battalion, led by Colonel Aono Saburo, and the Independent Infantry 40th Battalion, led by Lieutenant Colonel Horiuchi Katsumi, were temporarily transferred to the command of the Japanese 11th Army to participate in the Third Battle of Changsha.

In last month's feigned attack and cover mission, nearly 500 people were killed or wounded. In addition, the guard squadron of the observation group was drawn from the 9th Brigade, and now all of them have been killed in battle. Currently, Ikeue Kenkichi has only a little more than 3,000 troops in his hands, and they are stationed in several towns.

The large-scale invasion of the Eighth Route Army this time frightened him. As one of the main opponents of the Eighth Route Army in the past two years, he is very clear about the growth of the enemy's combat effectiveness. He hurriedly ordered all the Japanese and puppet troops along the way to abandon all small strongholds, and the soldiers to withdraw to larger towns, and if it was too late, to gather to large strongholds nearby. And he immediately reported to the First Army Headquarters and requested support.

At this time, the commander of the First Army, Iwamatsu Yoshio, was also in a state of anxiety. The entire Jin Province was full of beacon fires, and he received requests for help almost every minute, but he could not send out any troops.

In fact, this matter can't be blamed on him. After the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain last year, the Japanese army, taking advantage of the momentum of defeating the Central Army, concentrated more than 100,000 troops to launch the Third Battle of Changsha. However, the Japanese army's forces were already stretched, and the military headquarters had to draw a large number of troops from the garrisons in various places to strengthen the offensive.

The 40th Division, originally assigned to the First Army, plus the personnel drawn from other troops, had already marched south in a big way. At that time, the commander of the First Army was still Shinozuka Yoshio, so what did the mess left behind have to do with him? There was no way, he had to continue to report to the North China Front Army and seek more support.

In Beiping City, Okamura Neji, who had just received the news of Shinozuka Yoshio's death, was stunned! Just now, Shinozuka-kun was talking eloquently in the operations room, how could this person be gone in the blink of an eye?

Miyano Michiichi was also very surprised. He said, "Commander, Shinozuka General's death this time is a loss to the Empire!"

Okamura Neji sighed, "Alas~ The Chinese have an old saying, people have unpredictable misfortunes. This is his fate! Gentlemen, I propose that we observe a moment of silence for three minutes to pay tribute to our Shinozuka General."

Several generals also expressed their agreement, but before they could begin, the signalman came in and said, "Report to the Commander, General Iwamatsu of the First Army has sent a telegram."

Okamura Neji said with emotion, "Ah! Iwamatsu Army knew about Shinozuka-kun's death so quickly. He also sent a condolence telegram, what deep friendship between classmates!" He said to the signalman again, "Put the telegram there, you can go out."

"Yes!"

He turned around and said, "Well then, gentlemen, let's continue to mourn for Shinozuka-kun!" ———————————————

Just as Li Yunlong was feeling good about himself, in a mountain depression about three kilometers behind him.

Near this small valley, the mountains and plains were full of people in ragged clothes. At first glance, one would think they were famine refugees.

Here gathered five regimental-level units, with a total number of more than 6,000 people. At this time, Regiment Commander Cheng of the 772nd Regiment and the other four regimental commanders were waiting anxiously.

Don't look at so many people in the mountain depression, but there are only a few hundred broken guns, because the order from the superior is like this. They are very flustered without weapons in their hands!

Liu Yuan is indeed good at hiding things. Without a detailed map, it is impossible to find his storage point.

In the depths of the mountain depression, the guidance team of the training team finally discovered the entrance to the storage point. They hurriedly greeted, "Several regimental commanders, please be prepared! Enter the cave in the order on the order, and leave from another exit after receiving the corresponding supplies. At that time, the headquarters will issue new orders, and I hope you can strictly follow the orders and lists. Okay, time is tight, the first is the 772nd Regiment, Regiment Commander Cheng, please organize your troops to enter quickly! The next is the Third Regiment of the Jueyi Brigade, Regiment Commander Zhang, please be prepared."

After speaking, he handed Cheng Kang a list of supplies. Cheng Kang picked it up and took a look: Goodness! When did our Eighth Route Army become so rich! Are these good things for our 772nd Regiment?

Hu Luwa, who was next to Cheng Kang, quickly pushed him and said, "Regiment Commander, let's not be dazed, time is tight!"

Regiment Commander Cheng came back to his senses and immediately ordered, "Communicator, pass on my order. All the soldiers of the regiment will enter the cave in single file according to the formation. Also, listen to the arrangements of the guides inside, and everyone should act quickly."

Following his order, the entire 772nd Regiment acted quickly. The personnel in front also made way for them, and the entire regiment entered the cave in an orderly manner. Cheng Kang ran to the front in a puff of smoke, he couldn't wait to see those good things.

The soldiers of the other regiments stared at them curiously, and the other regimental commanders couldn't sit still. Regiment Commander Zhang of the Third Regiment of the Jueyi Brigade approached the guide and said, "Comrade, well, since I'm next, can I take a look at my list first?"

The guide thought for a moment, took out the supply list of the Third Regiment of the Jueyi Brigade, and handed it to him, saying, "Yes, I can show it to you, but don't publicize it first. This is what the leaders of the headquarters formulated according to the organization of each regiment."

Regiment Commander Zhang took the list and stuffed it into his arms without looking at it. He turned around and said to the other three regimental commanders, "Sorry, everyone!" After speaking, he pulled the political commissar of the Third Regiment of the Jueyi Brigade to the side to look at the list. From time to time, he made hearty laughter, which made the three regimental commanders itch with hatred.

Then the three regimental commanders all stared at the guide with wolf-like eyes! ಠ︵ಠ

The guide who was being stared at felt a chill down his spine, (ಥ_ಥ) don't come over!

The various units of the Eighth Route Army calculated the time and specially chose to start gathering troops near dark. This avoided being discovered by the Japanese planes and launching an attack on our army's assembled troops.

Actions like this took place in 37 locations throughout North China. Cheng Regiment Commander and the others were only at a relatively large storage point.

The three regimental commanders were originally local troops. Although they were called regiments, they only had six or seven hundred people. After receiving the order from the headquarters, they also incorporated some county brigades and district squads and other local militias into their teams, averaging about 1,100 people per regiment.

They were dressed in all kinds of tattered clothes. Not to mention guns, even broadswords and spears were not fully equipped. Many people were holding wooden sticks.

At this time, Cheng Kang, who had already entered the cave, discovered that although the entrance here was very small, the space inside was very large, enough to accommodate six or seven hundred people at the same time. There were also lanterns hanging on the walls, one every few steps, illuminating the inside. He didn't know how the cave was dug, but so many people came in and didn't feel stuffy at all.

According to the command of the guide in front, they came to several caves. The first order the soldiers received was to take off their clothes! The old weapons they carried were also to be discarded, and they could only wear close-fitting underwear and carry some personal items.

Cheng Kang took the lead in taking off his clothes, wearing only a pair of shorts, and walked inside with his smoking pipe. Although everyone was puzzled and didn't understand, they all obeyed the command.
